Maintain the roof and make patches.
Remove the shingle and use your pry bar to lift the shingle above it.
Clean the surrounding area so it is free of dirt and debris.
Hold solder on the seam and heat with soldering iron so that it melts and runs under the patch.

Put flux on the roof where the patch will be and on the edges of the patch.
Cut your new asphalt.
Scrape off any loose or flaking roof coating with a putty knife.
Place the patch on the hole and weight it down with a brick.

Cover the patch in a final layer of cement.
